Reminiscing & Wondering Where the Children’s Chocolate Advent Calendars Are Sold Today

Ever since I was a girl, I loved advent calendars. I usually had the calendars with chocolate in them. Every day in December, I would open a new window, find the chocolate, and eat it. When I had a major health crisis as a teenager, I decided to make myself a bucket list of things I wanted to do before I became to sickly to do them. One of the simplest ones was to buy a chocolate advent calendar for children and eat all the chocolate in one sitting. I ended up doing this years after the health crisis. I did this for only one time, but have no regrets about doing it!

Today, I see many types of advent calendars for sale. Among them are Legos, Disney toy collectables, and other toy brands. I’ve seen advent calendars for adults featuring beauty products, books, and socks. I’ve seen food based advent calendars and ones I just don’t understand who the target audience is, but there it is. There are also advent calendars that are for fans of certain movies and TV shows. These include Harry Potter, Gilmore Girls, and Wicked: For Good. (If you haven’t heard, Wicked: For Good has so many brand deals that it makes sense they would have a tie in advent calendar)

Yet, after browsing all these calendars I realized something: I didn’t see any chocolate advent calendars for children.

Favorite 2025 Beauty Advent Calendars from Ulta Beauty

Every year, beauty brands release advent calendars. These calendars are similar to the ones used by children, but instead of chocolate or candy, these calendars have beauty products in them.

This year, Ulta Beauty has multiple beauty calendars I like. Out of the calendars, I picked my favorites and compiled them into a post. They range from $49.58 to $245.00. Some of them can also be found at other beauty stores and at the respective brand sites, but Ulta Beauty is the place I saw them first.

All the information and product photographs are from Ulta Beauty’s website.

In late November 2024, Universal Pictures will release a movie version of the beloved musical Wicked in theaters. The movie will be release in two parts: The first in November 2024 and the second in 2025.

I am really excited about the movie, but I am also really excited to see the tie in merchandise relating to the movie. Even though it is August, the merchandise is already available for preorder or is available right now.

In anticipation of the movie, I compiled a post featuring all the tie-in merchandise I was able to find available for purchase or preorder. All the merchandise featured in this post is from Amazon. Also, all the release dates for the merchandise is also from Amazon and all the pictures of the products are from Amazon as well. Finally, this is not a sponsored post, there are no affiliate links or links to the products, and if there is a separate release date for a product, I will mention it as well.

Advent Calendars from Sephora for Holiday 2021

I know I’m late to write a post about Sephora’s beauty products, especially since today is the last day for the Sephora sale,, but, unfortunately, I was very busy and was unable to sit down and write one. Still, I wanted to make one before the sale ends.

Last week, I dedicated a post about advent calendars available at Ulta Beauty. Since Sephora sells different products and brands than Ulta Beauty, I tried to create a list of all the advent calendars sold at Sephora. I originally wanted to make a post about my favorite calendars at Sephora, but Sephora did not have as many calendars for sale as Ulta Beauty. Instead, I decided to feature all the calendars available at Sephora. As of the publishing of this post, some of these calendars have sold out or have poor ratings. Remember this when looking into purchasing the calendars. Continue reading “Advent Calendars from Sephora for Holiday 2021”

Favorite Beauty Advent Calendars from Ulta Beauty- 2021

Every December, I like to open an advent calendar. I usually like to open a chocolate advent calendar, but for the past few years I tired to open a beauty advent calendar. Opening beauty advent calendars can sometimes be hit or miss because the products may not be worth the price of the calendar. Still, I like looking at them to see what kind of calendars are available and at what price.

While browsing the calendars available for sale, I found many calendars available at Ulta Beauty. Some of the calendars are available online only while others are also only available at Ulta Beauty. Since they had so many calendars, I wanted to share my favorite calendars Ulta currently sells.

Sephora 2020 Wild Wishes Advent Calendar

For my birthday last month, I decided to buy myself a Sephora advent calendar. I really wanted to get an advent calendar for a few year, but I never did. Sephora’s advent calendars are known on social media as not as good as other advent calendars from beauty brands, but, after looking at Sephora’s 2020 calendar, I decided to give it a try.

Now that it’s December, I decided to open the calendar every day for 24 days because that’s what an advent calendar is supposed to be for. Before I start opening the calendar, I wanted to show what it looks like and what it contains. Continue reading “Sephora 2020 Wild Wishes Advent Calendar”
